Izakaya Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“A little late posting this since my visit was a while ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed this place

I honestly wasn’t expecting the menu to be that big. It really felt like a proper Japanese izakaya where you can order a little bit of everything, share dishes and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed

We tried several things, including the grilled squid and a baked seafood dish, and both were really good. The squid was tender and flavorful, and the baked dish was rich, cheesy and perfect for sharing. There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly hard to choose lol

We also had a few drinks, which made the whole experience even better. The food, drinks and casual atmosphere all worked really well together

It didn’t feel overly trendy or too polished, just comfortable and very local. Definitely the kind of place I’d come back to with friends, order a bunch of dishes and stay for a while

Really good food, lots of variety and a fun izakaya vibe“

“Been here many times already. It’s a go-to spot for date night or bringing friends or out of town guests. Good assortment of food options on the menu. My favorites are the grilled mochi and the poached egg with uni. Really crave-able food. They renovated recently and the decor really makes the atmosphere. They have really good happy hour(s) Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that’s worth checking out.“

“This place is one of the most underrated restaurants ever in the bay. The udon noodles are a little pricey and the menu doesn't have much variety but the food is one of a kind. Their udon is the best I've had anywhere in the city and is on the same level as those restaurants in Japan.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!“

“Good food will come back…“

“I don’t think the chef was Japanese but I have to say this was some of the best Nigiri sushi I’ve ever had. Generous portions of extremely fresh fish on well-sized, perfectly cooked slabs of sushi rice. And beautifully presented. A bit pricey ($45) but well worth it. Can highly recommend.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“My fiancé visited this location to today and it was wonderful l. The atmosphere was great, the food, absolutely delicious, and the service was great! Such a nice guy! Didn’t catch his name unfortunately but he was really nice. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“Its my first time in this place. And i really love it with your food at its best! Perfect! ❤️👍“
